UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas Main Replacement Project in Easton, Offering Conversion Opportunities

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced a significant infrastructure upgrade in Easton, with a natural gas main replacement project scheduled to start on August 18, 2025. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to delivering safe and reliable natural gas service to its customers. The project not only aims to modernize the gas distribution system but also presents a unique opportunity for residences and businesses along the project's path to switch to natural gas, a cleaner and more efficient energy source.

The construction will focus on several key streets, including South 15th Street between Northampton Street and Liberty Street, Northampton Street between South 15th Street and North 7th Street, North 7th Street between Northampton Street and Church Street, and South 12th Street between Northampton Street and Ferry Street. Work hours are set from 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, with expected disruptions such as road closures, detours, and parking restrictions. Additionally, temporary interruptions to natural gas service will necessitate UGI's access to properties for inspection and equipment relighting.

Anticipated to conclude by early December, the project's timeline may adjust based on weather conditions and work progress, with final paving and restoration to follow. UGI is proactively reaching out to those interested in converting to natural gas, encouraging them to explore this opportunity during the infrastructure upgrade.
